No it would be more like having the key to my house, but after I use the key I can’t get in and have to wait for a text and verification email before my door opens
More like using a key that hasn't been used in I over 30 days and needing to wait on a text/email.
Also text or email is a bad second factor and an implementation problem. TOTP is better. Passkeys way better and are so simple once you start using them.
So if you go on vacation your house key doesn’t work anymore? What is the point of a password if it doesn’t get you in?
Yep your rarely used vacation house needs an extra step given how rarely it's used.
Passwords are a miserable and lazy solution. The point was; they are cheap and easy to implement. I highly recommend dropping them whenever possible and switching to Passkeys, oAuth, SAML anything even a tiny bit harder to compromise.
